Fireworks #73 features an exclusive interview with beloved British rockers Thunder who tell all about coming back with the fantastic 'Wonder Days' and their upcoming live CD and DVD set 'All You Can Eat'. Black Star Riders singer Ricky Warwick has been busy, releasing two solo albums at the same time so we get the story from him on both. Tobias Sammet discusses the latest star studded Avantasia recording, Axel Rudi Pell is back with a brand new album, and we have a great chat with the legendary Status Quo frontmen Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt, who describe what it's like to have been in a band that have had hits spanning six decades, as celebrated on their new 'Accept No Substitute' collection.
With the usual wealth of interviews also including the likes of Ugly Kid Joe, Martin Turner, Primal Fear and upcoming British Rock hopefuls Inglorious, there's plenty to entertain you. There is of course the usual mass of reviews covering everything you need, as well as our writers round up of the best releases 2015 had to offer.
Naturally, we continue offering a free CD, this one offering no less than seventy tracks in mp3 form for your listening pleasure. If we can't switch you on to some promising new music, we'll book you in for a hearing test personally.
